The library, affectionately called Bibi, is on the third floor and is an active component of the school community, used by students of all ages, teachers, and parents. It offers a broad collection in multiple languages, including German, English, and French, with items ranging from children's literature to reference works and magazines, plus translations and travel guides; DVDs, CDs, and other media are also available.

A wide range of AGs covers sports, music, arts, and crafts, and the BVB Evonik Fußballakademie is integrated into Cocu. The Cocu program also organizes events and camps, including a two-week summer camp in the last two weeks of summer, and the Aula hosts performances and events throughout the year.
